Galley. Slaves Of the Last Century.

The life Of the French galley-slaves
of the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles has been thus described by Ad-
miral de 10 Graviere: "They place
seven men on each bench; that is to say,
in . space ten feet long by four feet
wide. They are 80 packed away that
you can see nothing from stern to bow
but the heads Of the sailors. The cap
tain and the officers are not much bet
ter of. When the seas overtake the
galleys, when the north wind howls
along the coast, or when the sirocco
dampens the passengers with its deadly
moisture, all these make the galley q
perfect hell. The lamentation Of the
ships company, the shrieks of the sail
ors, the horrible bowling of the con
victs, the groaning of the timbers,
mixed with the cianking Of the chains,
and the natural noises Of the storm,
produce an effect which will terrify the
bravest of men. Even the calm has it's
inconvenience. The horrid smells are
SO powerful that you cannot Withstand
them, despite the fact that you use to-
bacco in some shape from morning till
night.
CONDEMNED in 1701 to serve in the
galleys OF France on account of being o
Protestant, Jean Martelle de Bugerac
died in 1777 at Galenburg, on the
Gueldre, ut the age of 95. He seems
to have had (to use a common express
sion, though quite in place here) his
soul riveted to his body All the con-
victs,' he says, are chained six to a
bench; these benches are four feet
apart. and covered with u bag stuffed
with wool, on which is thrown a sheep
skin. The overseer, who is the master
of the slaves, remains aft, near the cap
tain, to receive his orders. There are
two sub-overseers- one amidships, the
other on the bow. Each of them is
armed with whip, which he exercises
On the naked bodies of the crew. When
the captain orders the boat off, the
overseer gives q signal from q silver
whistle which hangs from his neck.
This is repeated by the two others, and
at once the slaves strike the water. One
would say the fifty bars are but one.
Imagine six men chained to q bench,
naked as they were born, one foot on
the foot-rest. the other braced against
the seat in front, holding in their hands
an oar of enormous weight, stretching
their bodies out. and extending their
arms forward into the backs of those
before them, who have the same atti-
tude. The oar thus advanced, they
raise the end they hold in their hands,
so that the other ends shall plunge into
the sea. That done. they throw them
selves back and fall on their seats,
which bend on receiving them. Some
times the slave rows ten, twelve, even
twenty hours at o time, without the
slightest relaxation. The overseer, or
some one else, on such occasions puts
into the mouth of the unfortunate rover
. morsel of bread stepped with wine to
prevent his fainting. II, by chance,
one falls over (Which often happens), he
is beaten until he is given up for dead,
and then he is thrown overload without
ceremony.n

1900 feet, and the much vaunted Montreal
slide is but l 600 feet. The Lorillards are
known to fame through their immense
tobacco enterprise, and also as being en-
thusiastic turimen. The Lorillard stables
are world famed, and Tuxedo Park,
which Pierre Lorillard has instituted
in Jersey, is a swell thing conducted
on English plans, ideas and principles.
Mr.. Loyillard's retirement from the Ameri-
ban racing track in the year 1884 was one
of short duration, and the recent talk that
his farm, Rancocas, would be sold with the
sale of the horses had no foundation, as
Mr.. Lorillard has said that Rancocas would
not be sold, and that he would keep all the
foals of this year of the horses sold some
fifty in cumberland that Pierre, Jr., would
keep all the geldings, so that in all proba-
bility father and son will enter and run
distinct stables. Mr.. Lorillard, ST., spends
lavishly not only upon himself and friends
but also upon the employees of his factory.
A recent addition to the privileges enjoyed
by his workmen is a large library erected
for the free use OF any employe on the
presentation Of the factory card. A school
Is attached which seats three hundred chill
dren, and the entire expense of the estab-
lishment is borne by Pierre Lorillard Il
Co., who feel a just pride in the success of
this work.

ings of a counterfeit press in the room
next my own. A former American Consul
in one of the Bolivian cities sold his press
to my English companion. Another of
our diplomatic corps in Bolivia had 100
kegs of nails SEN him from New York.
There were a few nails laid in the tops and
bottoms of the kegs, Tut the main con-
tents were counterfeit silver pieces. The
Consul was not at home when the kegs
arrived at his warehouse. A brother-in-
law of President Dosa, of the Bolivian Re-
public, wanted some nails about this time,
and the Consul's secretary sold HIM a dozen
kegs. An exposure was prevented by the
Consul going halves with the brother-in-
law on the counterfeit money.-Detroit

War in Europe.

The threatening clouds Of wal are gath
ering over Europe, and any hour may bring
to our ears the opening thunders of such q
tempest as that continent has not known
since Bonaparte's star e down at Water
loo. Everything points to an early clash Of
arms. and when it does come it will be such
a struggle az may considerably alter the COM
plexion Of the map Of Europe. France but
waits the opportunity to repay Germany
for the humiliation Of Sedan, and the loss
of Alsace and Lorraine; Russia has the old
score Of the Crimea to settle with England,
reality in the possession Of C~onstantinople
and the Bosphorus: Austria cannot remain
idle in such q conflict, therefore when war
does come it will be a battle Of the giants.
That it has been deferred thus far is only q
stroke Of diplomacy TO gain time for more
perfect preparation.
